The fitting can then be re-used. If the tube has been removed several times you may see score marks on the ends. This can lead to leaks so cut the end off the tubing totally square with a sharp blade using care. Hydroid – Series User Manual 04/19...
The Hydroid system features a robust, innovative design that requires no adjustments in the event of feed water quality or temperature variations. Your Hydroid system is a durable piece of equipment which, with proper care, will last for many years. Standard...

TDS status on an easy-to-read 3-digit LED display. PRE-FILTRATION Hydroid systems come standard with a carbon pre-filter. Change the pre-filter when 75,000 gallons of purified water has been produced. Or, a 15 or more psi drop occurs on feed gauge, when compared to the initial startup reading.
PUMP The Hydroid system uses a multi-stage centrifugal stainless-steel pump. If any damage occurs to your system’s pump, a rebuild kit is available. Contact HydroLogic for parts and warranty. PUMP PRESSURE GAUGE The pump pressure gauge measures the pressure of the water as it enters the first membrane in the system.
Do not install system in direct sunlight, high intensity lights or subject the system to temperature extremes (see operating limits chart) and/or excess humidity. The Hydroid system should be secured in compliance with state and local regulations.
SOURCE. TANK Hydroid systems may be connected to a bladder tank or a storage tank with a float valve. The float valve shuts off the system when the tank is full and opens when the water level in the tank drops.
Low temperatures and feedwater quality, such as high TDS levels will significantly affect the systems production capabilities and performance. *If any of the feed water parameters are not within the given limits, consult HydroLogic for assistance. HIGHER TDS AND/OR LOWER TEMPERATURES WILL REDUCE THE SYSTEM’S PRODUCTION.
(see TCF Table on pg. 23). †††† PRODUCT (purified water) flow and maximum recovery rates are based on feedwater conditions as stated above. SYSTEM PURGING / INITIAL START–UP LEAVE THE SYSTEM UNPLUGGED FROM POWER UNTIL STEP 6 Hydroid – Series User Manual 04/19...

Flush tubing (B) and then push system tubing (C) into carbon pre-filter port. Replace the red clip to lock system tubing to carbon pre-filter, shown in the picture below. For filter replacements, reverse this step. IMPORTANT: Keep black Flush tubing for future carbon pre-filter flush procedures. Hydroid – Series User Manual 04/19...

7. Let the system purge until no bubbles appear in CONCENTRATE (drain water - black tubing) flow meter (approx. 15 min). 8. When the Hydroid system has been purged of air, press the power button momentarily to turn off the purge feature. The Hydroid will turn off.
IF THE SYSTEM HAS AN ANTI-SCALANT FILTER (OPTIONAL HL 11595), AND IF THE PRODUCT WATER (PURIFIED WATER) IS USED AS POTABLE WATER, THE BLEND VALVE MUST REMAIN CLOSED. THIS IS TO AVOID INGESTION OF ANY CHEMICALS. Hydroid – Series User Manual 04/19...

If changing carbon filter, go to page 15, step 4 (filter flush). If replacing membrane, continue to step 14. 15) To start–up the system, please refer to the System Purging/Initial Start–Up section of this User’s Manual (pg. 15). Hydroid – Series User Manual 04/19...
Rinse out the preservative before use. For membrane warranty details, contact HydroLogic for more information. If operating limits and guidelines given in this PRODUCT (purified water) specification sheet are not strictly followed, the warranty will be null and void.
Percent of Recovery = (PRODUCT (purified water) Water Flow Rate / FEED (inlet) water flow rate) x 100 For Example, if the Hydroid makes 2.0 GPM PRODUCT (purified water) and has a FEED (inlet) flow of 2.66 GPM. (2.0 GPM PRODUCT (purified water) flow / 2.66 GPM FEED (inlet) flow) x 100 = 75% ALL FLOW RATES MUST BE EXPRESSED IN THE SAME UNITS, TYPICALLY GALLONS PER MINUTE (GPM).
Rated PRODUCT (purified water) Flowrate = 2 GPM @ 77°F Actual Water Temperature = 55°F Temperature Correction Factor @ 55°F = 1.541 PRODUCT (purified water) Flowrate @ 55°F = 2 GPM ÷ 1.541 = 1.297 GPM Hydroid – Series User Manual 04/19...

Find the temperature correction factor (TCF) from the table below. Divide the rated PRODUCT (purified water) flow at 77°F by the temperature correction factor. The result is the PRODUCT (purified water) flow at the desired temperature (see example on previous page). Hydroid – Series User Manual 04/19...

The Hydroid controller is a microprocessor-controlled system that can monitor pressure and level switches. The TDS monitor/controller with adjustable limit is an integral part of the Hydroid controller. The Hydroid controller displays system status and sensor and switch input status using a status LED and a 3-digit LED display.
